Moar hackings?
#21
Yes, I'd like to confirm that there is a new wave of hackings... not that I'm pointing any fingers at a specific source...
 Spoiler
Norton says I'm clean. GMail shut them down before they could send a website link to a few select people on my address book, not everyone, the few people I know at various companies. I have no idea of the french website- i'm assuming that's what the .fr stands for and just by looks I'm assuming the hacker's account where all the info was being sent.

I don't share accounts and none of my passwords are repeated on any site. None of my email accounts I use come back to the email address I used for my main MS account. I don't visit random sites except from work and even then I check my personal email from home. That's why I was a bit surprised to find that I was locked out of my GMail acct "due to suspicious activity found".

Spammers are breaking into GMail accounts with weak passwords, I doubt that's related. One of mine had the same thing and I switched to a more secure password.
